Strawberry jam pie

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a strawberry jam pie? Measure out the necessary ingredients. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. Any thick jam is also suitable for filling. If there is too much syrup in the jam, you can drain it so that the filling is thicker. Take the amount of sugar for the dough to taste.

2. Step 2:

   

   Mix flour with baking powder and sift to clear it of possible litter and increase the effect of baking powder.

3. Step 3:

   

   Beat the egg with a fork in a small bowl. Pour a very little beaten egg to lubricate the pie on top before baking (about 1.5 tsp).

4. Step 4:

   

   Mix soft butter with sugar and salt.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add the beaten egg to the butter mass, mix.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour in the flour sifted with baking powder. Knead the dough quickly. It is important that the oil does not overheat from the heat of the hands and does not melt. Then the finished cake will turn out tender and crumbly.

7. Step 7:

   

   Divide the dough into two parts: a larger one for the base of the pie, a smaller one for decorating the pie on top. Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap or bag and put it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Roll out most of the cooled dough between two layers of parchment into a round layer. It is more convenient for me to use food wrap for this purpose.

10. Step 9:

    

    Cover the bottom of the baking dish with parchment, lightly brush the walls with vegetable oil. Transfer the rolled dough to the mold, spread it on the bottom and form low sides.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the jam on the dough in a uniform layer.

12. Step 11:

    

    From the second cooled part of the dough, you can cut out various decorations (figurines, stripes) and put them on top of the pie. Using a cooking brush, gently lubricate the pie with the remaining beaten egg.

13. Step 12:

    

    Bake the pie in a preheated 180 C oven for about 25 minutes until lightly browned. Do not wait for the bright color of the pie, so that the shortbread dough does not dry out. In this case, the pie may turn out to be a little harsh. Determine the time and baking mode, focusing on the features of your oven.

14. Step 13:

    

    Remove the finished cake from the mold, cool it and serve it to the table. Bon appetit!
